CHEDEMPTION 2026 We had another fantastic Chedemption season in 2025! Over 2,100 CLYNK bags were shipped off the island, at no charge, by Casco Bay Lines. This removed more than 34,000 pounds of glass, plastic and aluminum from the waste stream. We celebrate the continued savings for tax payers and, more importantly, we are doing incredible recycling and making money! participating organizations volunteered in 2025 resulted in $600 for each group! We are hoping for another successful year of Chedemption and know it will happen with your help. Due to safety and insurance concerns, children under 18 cannot volunteer.
